Story | Octopuses are beautiful creatures. They’re seen as "Einsteins of the sea”. They also feel joy and excitement as well as pain and fear. But there are plans to build the world's first octopus farm in Gran Canaria. The problem is charities often have a finger waggy tone of voice. So how do you challenge people to rethink eating octopus without feeling like it’s yet another charity telling you off? Easy. We told the truth. We told people the octopus is cursed. We created a 360 campaign of guerrilla posters, memes, QR codes revealing secret menus on octopus serving restaurants, warning stickers on octopus products, and a very real film showing the very real effects of eating octopus all as a reminder for people to stay human and not eat octopus. |
